We nearly bought a motorhome! (1 Viewer)

[Grumpyfrog]

Early in 2020 we made the decision to buy a motorhome after a lifetime of tents, trailer tents and caravans.
We did as much research both online and at dealerships to narrow our search and to establish some idea of what we favoured.
The money was in the bank, we had both retired, all we had to do was make up our minds and go for it.
Then Covid and lockdown came along.
I saw little point in going ahead, buying a motorhome, taxing and insuring it just to look at it on the drive.
For now, that part of our future plan is on hold.

So I have done the next best thing.
Join Motorhome fun, so at least I can read and talk with a lot of other members in the same boat!

Hello

It is not only the likes of yu without a MH yet who are holding off. There have been quite a few posters, me included, saying that they would be changing their MH - but not under present conditions.

You may have read that there was a rush to buy in the summer, possibly fueled by flying being restricted. We do not know how those people feel about their purchases now, and will again if they are still restricted by the springtime. I think reports of dealers running out of stock may really have only related to the under £40k bracket as being the sector probably attracting first-time buyers.

Anyway I think you, I and others are wise to hang back for the moment.

Hello from Cornwall.

You're lucky in a way - I bought my latest van just before Covid hit us, and it has indeed been sat on my driveway for most of the year although managed to get away a couple of times.

Welcome to MHF!

Hi, in the same boat, put off our potential purchase for the same reasons, but it has given us plenty of time to read and watch all the reviews .

Yep!
We are doing exactly the same.
I suppose it is saving us both money and perhaps making a mistake in buying the wrong layout.
There is always Plan B.
Damn!
We haven't got a Plan B.

I took the plunge and put a deposit on my van in October, delivery is now expected in February, hopefully it won't be too much longer before I can use it!

Gives you time to get to know the van and use all the equipment if you are able to store on the drive

Welcome aboard

We bought one late 2019 and it has proven to be a very shrewd move . 15 breaks throughout the year including a February French trip . No motorhome , no breaks . Also just booked two up for spring this year , fingers crossed .
